The Equestrian Sport Educative Event is a tool made to help NFs to identify, educate and certify national Officials (Judges & CDs) to ultimately develop their own education and certification structure. The ESEE takes the form of a 4 days workshop delivered by two Technical Experts with theoretical and practical sessions for National Officials (Judges & Course Designers) involving Coaches and their pupils. During the fourth day, all actors play their role in a competition situation, it is the assessment of the Officials’ capacity to judge/build courses. The ESEEs are divided into 3 progressive technical modules. Certificate of Achievement/Competence are given only after completion of a given number of ESEEs and which are linked to the national Education and Certification system. The Certification level which should be given to participants after 2 ESEEs is equal to "Candidate National Judge" and after the 3rd ESEE is equal to "National Judge".
